1 Claim. (01. 2-146),

This invention relates to neckties, particularly a narrow reinforcing strip 16. The main lining four-in-hand neckties comprising an outer 15 and the'narrow reinforcing strip 16 are both fabric covering or casing a compound lining. iade from flexible resilient material known The object of this invention is to produce a commercially as resiline. The main lining 15 5 necktie which is substantially rigid or nonis, however, out on the bias thereby exposing on 5 stretchable in a lengthwise direction and the the said edges of the main lining the loose ends lining whereof in the direction angular to the of both the warp and the weft threads in con length of the tie, is provided with sufficient flextradistinction to cutting the material straight ibility or resiliency, particularly in the portions which exposes only the loose ends of the weft of the tie constituting the knot, as to permit threads on the side edges of the material. The 10 draping of the tie without wrinkling and which reinforcing striplfi is cut straight exposing only lining has the tendency to restore itself and the theloose ends of the weft threads at the side tie casing to a substantially flat condition when edges of the strip.

A particular embodiment of my invention is Thecasing when the tie is completed is of illustrated in the accompanying drawing in substantially the same size and configuration as which Fig. l is an inner face view of the linings the compound lining, as is illustrated by the secured together by stitching forming a unitary dotted lines 20 of Fig. 2.

The'complete tie, tied as ing its relative relation when made up in th e a four-in-hand tie, is shown in Fig. 4. The lower J 40 form of a knot; Fig. 4 is a front view of the portions on the inner face at both ends of the 40 completed tie embodying my invention made in necktie are preferably lined with fabric which the form of a four-in-hand knot, and Fig; 5 is extends from the points at each end of the tie a, detail cross-section taken on the line 5--5 of to substantially the transverse broken lines shown Fig. 2. r in Fig. 2, thereby covering the lower portions of- The body material or casing of the tie may be the interlining; 45 7 made of any suitable material such as wool, silk It is to be noted fromthe foregoing description or other suitable fabric.

The casing edges are so formed on tion of the-bias cut main lining being reinforced 50 their inner faces as to overlap one another, throughout its length and along the edges thereproviding a seam 13 held together by stitching of by the corresponding portion of thereinforcing 14. The'interlining of the tie to which my instrip. The portion of the main lining which goes vention particularly relates consists of a cominto the knot is slightly wider and gradually pound lining comprising the main lining 15 and tapers outwardly with respect to the neck por- 55 tion, the bias cut material'at the knot portions of the tie being unsupported by the reinforcing strip and consequently these portions and particularly the loose ends of the bias cut material may readily flex in the direction in which they Wih consequently arch or bend when the tie is knotted, and will support the casing as the casing assumes the same'shape as the compound lining,

resulting in proper draping of the tie. The

arched orbent threads of the main lining When' the tie is unknotted, assume a flat condition and thereby flatten out the casing to, substantially its original shape.

I claim? c A neckties comprising a compound lining consisting of a main lining of woven textile material out on the bias so as normally to be resilient in longitudinal and transverse directions, said'main lining being of the same length and shape as that of the tie and extending from end to end of the tie, a woven reinforcing strip cut straight and substantially non-resilient in longitudinal directions, said reinforcing strip being of the same length as the main lining and being sewn to the main lining by a single row of stitches extending substantially centrally of the main lining and irom end to end of the reinforcing strip, said stitching'uniting said linings to form a unitary compound interlining non-stretchable in lengthwise direction, said main lining and said reinforcing strip being unhemmed, the threads of said main lining being angularly disposed with respect to the cross threads of said reinforcing strip, the ends oi the threads of the main lining .being loose and freely movable, a casing enclosing said compound lining, said casing having substantially the same shape and configuration as the main lining.
